Use keyframes to animate layer properties (Photoshop Extended)
Move the current-time indicator to a keyframe (Photoshop Extended)
After you set the initial keyframe for a property, Photoshop displays the keyframe navigator, which you can use to
move from keyframe to keyframe or to set or remove keyframes. When the keyframe navigator diamond is active
(yellow), the current-time indicator lies precisely at a keyframe for that layer property. When the keyframe navigator
diamond is inactive (gray), the current-time indicator lies between keyframes. When arrows appear on each side of the
keyframe navigator box, other keyframes for that property exist on both sides of the current time.
❖
Click a keyframe navigator arrow. The arrow to the left moves the current-time indicator to the previous keyframe.
The arrow to the right moves the current-time indicator to the next keyframe.
Select keyframes (Photoshop Extended)
❖
In the Animation panel, do any of the following:
•
To select a keyframe, click the keyframe icon.
•
To select multiple keyframes, Shift-click the keyframes or drag a selection marquee around the keyframes.
•
To select all keyframes for a layer property, click the layer property name next to the stopwatch icon.
Move keyframes (Photoshop Extended)
1
Select one or more keyframes.
2
Drag any of the selected keyframe icons to the desired time. (If you selected multiple keyframes, they move as a
group and maintain the same time spacing.)
To expand or compress the spacing of multiple keyframes, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the first or
last keyframe in the selection. The keyframe at the opposite end of the selection remains in place as you drag, slowing
down or speeding up the animation.
Copy and paste keyframes (Photoshop Extended)
You can copy keyframes for a property (such as Position) to the same property in any layer. When you paste keyframes,
they reflect the copied offset from the current-time indicator.
You can copy keyframes from only one layer at a time. When you paste keyframes into another layer, they appear in
the corresponding property in the destination layer. The earliest keyframe appears at the current time, and the other
keyframes follow in relative order. The keyframes remain selected after pasting, so you can immediately move them in
the timeline.
Note: You can copy and paste keyframes between more than one property at a time.
1
In the Animation panel, display the layer property containing the keyframes you want to copy.
2
Select one or more keyframes.
3
Right-click a selected keyframe, and choose Copy Keyframes.
4
In the Animation panel containing the destination layer, move the current-time indicator to the point in time
where you want the keyframes to appear.
